2 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful im provements in mountlngs for window shade rollers.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide a roller mounting of the character described which can be constructed of plastic or some other readily available and inexpensive material.

Another important object of the invention is to provide an adjustable shade mounting which can be readily adjusted to accommodate shade rollers of various lengths.

Other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following description.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional view showing the mountings and a shade roller in top plan.

Figure 2 is a front elevational view oi the face member of the mounting.

Figure 3 is an end elevational view of one of the mountings.

Figure 4 is an elevational view of the slide.

Figure 5 is an elevational view of the slide.

Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that reference character A denotes a window frame to which the improved mountings generally referred to by numeral 5 are attached.

Each mounting consists of a base plate 6, preferably constructed of some plastic material and having a dovetail slideway l formed therein. The

plate has its back wall formed with end openings 8, 8 to accommodate attaching screws 9 and a plurality of longitudinally spaced recesses IIIa for receiving selectively the adjacent end of a pin III which is slidably disposed through a slide block I I, this slide block having a flared and dovetailed portion I2 disposed in lthe dovetail slideway 1.

The outer portion of the block II has a right angularly cut out portion I3 receiving a substantially rectangular shaped knob I4, there being a tongue and groove connection I5 between the knob I4 and the narrow protruding portion I6 defined by the cut-out I3.

In the protruding portion I6 is a recess I1 for receiving the corresponding end pintle of a shade roll I 8.

As can be clearly seen in Figure 1, the .outer end of the pin III is threaded into the knob I4 as at I9 and a coiled compression spring in the block II serves to project the pin IIJ into one oi the recesses Illa.

It can now be seen, that with the mounting 5 placed on the window frame or wherever else convenient, the blocks II can be adjusted on the base plate 6 to properly accommodate the shade roller. The shade roller can be released at any time desired by simply pulling out on one of the knobs I4 and shifting the corresponding block I I away from the roller, thus releasing the roller.

While the foregoing specication sets forth the invention in specic terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. The combination of a base plate provided with a series of aligning apertures, a block slidvably mounted in the plate and provided with a pintle receiving recess, a horizontal bore extending through the block, a pin slidable within the bore and selectively engageable with one of said series of apertures, said bore being at right angles to said apertures, and being enlarged, a contraction spring in said enlargement engaged with the pin to normally hold the same seated within one of the apertures, and said block having a recess a head secured to said pin adapted to seat within the recess.

2. The combination of a base plate provided with a series of aligning apertures, a block slidably mounted in the plate and provided with a pintle receiving recess, a horizontal bore extending through the block, a pin slidable within the bore and selectively engageable with one of said series of apertures, and said bore being at right angles to said apertures, and being enlarged, a contraction spring in said enlargement engaged with the pin to normally hold the same seated within one of the apertures, said block having a recess and a head secured to said pin and adapted to seat within the recess, and means for guiding said head into its Seat- TANLEY J BLASCQ.
